Who refused to leave office after Fiamē won the majority in the 2021 election?

  • Prime Minister Fiame Mata'afa

  • Prime Minister Tofilau Eti Alesana

  • Prime Minister Tuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi

  • Prime Minister Vaai Kolone

Answer

The refusal to concede defeat in the 2021 election by Prime Minister Tuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi stemmed from a long-standing grip on power, marked by six consecutive terms as the country's leader. This reluctance to relinquish control led to a constitutional crisis, highlighting the urgent need for democratic reforms to ensure a smoother transition of power and strengthen Samoa's democratic institutions.
